Great! ..and thanks for the feedback. Feel free to take your time and rather focus on all the other stuff on your list(s). > I'm not sure that I fully understand your namespace plugin.

Starting from a tiddler name like [[Some.NameSpace.Item]] it basically dissects it and thus allows to easily navigate to all of... - [[Some.NameSpace.Item]] - [[Some.NameSpace]] - [[Some]] - [[NameSpace]] - [[Item]] In addition... - it lists subelements in popup ...when clicking the separator - it let's you easily create subitems to a given namespace item or subsection - it provides for a namespace "uber-category" that is not part of the title, e.g. - *Root > [[Some]]* ...with *Root* being the "category" - using the CTRL key modifier while hovering a title - it displays quick-create buttons - allows to navigate to the tiddler corresponding to the namespace section, e.g. [[NameSpace]] In TW5 there's the idea of a "text reference" ( > http://five.tiddlywiki.com/static/TextReference.html) which can be looked > up to yield the associated text.

It seems that you are considering discarding section handling. I don't think that's a good idea. It was quite essential for many usecases in TW classic. No idea what properties and data tiddlers are but for them to use the same syntax as previously was reserved for sections does not sound like a smart choice, perhaps use something like $$ or && instead? I'm also confused what it would mean to promote a field to a first class > citizen. I can live with only using fields in TW5 and discarding slices altogether. "First class citizen" would mean to be able to make some fields more prominently visible than others, so they are as easily accessible for viewing (and perhaps inline editing in view-mode) as is the tiddler text... rather than hidden in some info-section.
